BMA tries to curb erosion of capital’s coastline

The Bang Khunthian district’s coastline is constantly being eroded, and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) is collaborating with various organizations.

Jessada Chandraprabha, chairman of the BMA’s Drainage and Sewerage Department, just provided an update on efforts to address the continued problem in the city’s beach area. &nbsp,

He stated that the division has been carefully collaborating with other organizations to develop and implement initiatives to stop coastal erosion and the rising sea levels brought on by climate change in the middle Gulf of Thailand, which affect areas of Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Samut Sakhon. &nbsp,

He claims that a meet with representatives from various organizations, including the Department of Climate Change and Environment (DCCE), was held on January 29. The concern projects demand a lasting commitment to carry out in a coordinated effort to address the erosion issue. &nbsp,

One of the important projects, funded by the BMA last month, focuses on stopping the retreating beach by erecting a 4.7-kilometre-long stone storm barrier.

This project, now in its purchasing level, traps sand and increases soil nutrients, helping the mangrove forests to develop. &nbsp,

Additionally, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources and the Bang Khunthian area business have collaborated to gather information and create strategies to combat coastal erosion. Additionally, they keep an eye on water levels rises.

The Bang Khunthian city office has been constantly involved in reducing coastal erosion since 2016 by doing so. The city office has so far constructed a storm cushion made of bamboo that extends 2.2 kilometers along the beach with the assistance of both public and private organizations as well as native residents.

The company has furthermore planted over 107, 000 tidal trees, which has expanded the marsh forest by 233 ra.
